1. Pg. 91 "Harley Baker, M.D., had a small general practice in Montana-Oregon which was legitimate and barely paid for the diesel oil he consumed each weekend participating in the rallies for vintage tracors which were the vogue in Sahara. His real income was earned in his Freak Factory in Trenton to which Baker jaunted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night." How could Baker so easily own a place full of what is probably illegal things? You would think with the "futuristic" setting of this novel, as soon as Baker had opened this place, certain people would know about it and try to shut it down right away. - Christian Graham
2.) When gully was getting the tatto removed, Jiz didn't pay for the anesthesia. She wanted him to learn control through pain. I found this really wierd that she would let someone go through so much pain.-ALEX GEESEY
RE: I thought she didn't pay for the anesthesia just because like she had sex with him and then she found out what his face looked like and she wanted him to suffer because of that. When I read that, I thought it was pretty darn rude of her. When you put it like that it kind of makes much more sense. - Kaylee Goldsworthy =]
yea that was really creep and i really didnt get the point of that=dustin gardner
Agreed with gessey-Michael Maher
4. Pg. 94 "I know. Let him suffer." She laughed so furiously that she startled Baker. "Let his face make him suffer too." Jisbella sounds so mad in this. She seems like she really wants Gully to be in a lot of pain and it almost sounds like she wants revenge for something. In this part it doesn't sound like she wants him to learn control through pain, but on the next page she talks about him learning, then gives Baker the money for anesthesia. So I'm not exactly sure what she's trying to accomplish by not letting him receive anesthesia. - Danielle Heininger
3. Pg. 98: "Don't leave me alone, yet, Sam. I'm ashamed of myself". "What for?". "Cruelty to dumb animals". When Jisbella says she is ashamed of cruelty to dumb animals, it just seems to amaze me that she is able to say that after Gully is the one that got her out of Gouffre Martel and she still had the nerve to get his tatoo and yet still doesn't even care about Gully. - Joel Redfoot
Joel i agree with you 100%. I think she just sounds stupid saying that. -Nick Shrift
4. Pg.103 " To Sam's ship." Foyle thrust hes big hand before Jisbella's eyes: a bunch of rediant keys lay in his palm." I took his keys. Come on." "He gave them to you?" "I took them off his body." "Ghoul!" She began to laugh. "Liar... Lecher... Tiger... Ghoul. The walking cancer... Gully Foyle." I understand that Jiz is mad at Gully for taking Sam's keys from his cold dead body but the cops would have been after them and probably took them back to Gouffre Martel, for them to rot for the rest of their lives. He basicly saved her once again. So she has a right to be mad at him for a little while but she doesn't have to be such a little blank to him. -- Jameson Holsinger :)
5. Pg. 107-108 "The burning expression on her face transformed Foyle's anger into passion. He enveloped her and buried his face in her breast. ... They floated together in the cabin, drowsing, murmuring, touching tenderly for hours." "Poor Gully," Jisbella whispered. "Poor darling Gully..." "Not poor,": he said. "Rich ... soon." Wow! I can't keep up with this woman. First she hates him and won't talk to him on days on end and now shes passionate with him?, This lady is really giving me a huge head ach. She needs to make up her mind either she hates him or she likes him one or the other not both. -- Jameson Holsinger :)
6. I can't tell whether Jiz likes Gully or not. She didn't pay for the anesthesia for him and talks about how frustrated she is with him to Sam Quatt. But when there is a raid, she doesn't want to leave him there alone. -Kelsey Baker
I agree. I don't think she even likes him. But she keeps changing her attitude towards him. It confuses me. - Haley Kline
Response. I guess you didn't get farther than that little part but after a little bit of surgery she does give the Doctor 1000 dollars. She then walks out the door and faints. -Nick Kratzer
7. pg. 104 "My dear Dagenham, his face wont be changed." "we've never seen his face....only the mask." " I haven't met the man at all," Sheffield said. "What's the mask like?" " Like a Tiger." I think that they know his Nomad tattoo would be gone but not everything would be gone. I think there is still something there. -Ashlee Carson
8. Pg. 103/104: "...He's unique." "I arranged for him to escape from Gouffre Martel. He escaped, all right, but not my way". Dagenham knew Gully was going to be able to lead them back to the Nomad, hence why they were willing to let him escape. the only problem with that plan was that he didn't go the ways they had it planned out for him to do and he led himself to a new route but still the same destination. I think it was really quite interesting that they were thinking that Gully would find a way out and get them to whatever possibly is on the Nomad. -Joel Redfoot
9. pg. 104 They talk about how Gully has received his facial surgery removing the tattoo's and that how without those they wont be able to recognize him. Even though they have spent so much time with him. They were so distracted by his tattoo's that they didnt pay attention to his face.-John Benton
Re:i agree they only want to catch this guy and rob him of everything he has. you would think they would try to remember and at least have pictures or something to identify him. -*Aaron Gromiller*
9. pg. 94. "No dope, Baker. Let Foyle suffer." So when I read this part I couldn't help but wonder if Jiz had some alternate motive to make Foyle go through the pain of the surgery, like possibly vengeance for him being crazy or something like that. That would be kind of ironic if it really was vengeance. I'm not sure if it would be though. She could just be ridiculously cheap with spending money first-hand.-Tim Galbraith
A: I agree with you i think she might have an alternate motive just to get back at him because of all he put her through when escaping even though he only did all that because they wouldnt let her come with him after agreeing to the deal with Dagenham to release him for $2,000,000.-Mindy Hayton
A: I agree with you also, I was wondering this myself when I was reading that part... but keep in mind... even though he put her through all of that stuff to get out, they did get out and now they are free. Instead of punishing him with pain, she should be rejoicing and praising him for getting her out alive mostly unscathed (minus a few scrapes and scratches from the wall's mortor he had to cut through. His method of getting out may have been completely rediculous, but they still got out alive. I'm not sure why she would want to punish him. - Janelle Meadows
11. I think this Dr. Baker is a nut job... He keeps these things in his basement. I really think he should be placed in an insane asylum if he's acting like this. He might know what he's doing but my God, that's just wrong. -Nick Kratzer
I agree with Nick on this one, he is a nut job! Although putting him in an insane asylum would be pretty pointless because he could just jaunt out. - The great Tyler Slippy
12. Pg. 99 "I thought you weren't interested in his face, dear. It ought to be clean. I don't think I missed a spot of pigment. You may admire my skill, Jisbella ... also my sagacity. I'm going to back Foyle's salvage trip." This guy Baker seems only to be intrested in the money that he might and might not get when Folye goes to the Nomad, I would too when i found out how much the stuff is worth on the ship so i can't say i blame him. Baker doesn't even get the chance to back him up before the raid happens so it was bad timing or he just has some bad luck. -- Jameson Holsinger :)
I agree, Baker doesn't really seem to be interested in befriending Foyle, but just taking his money, however, he did remove the tatoo before he knew anything of Foyle's knowledge of wealth in Nomad, so I dont think he is as greedy as you make him out to be. It is only natural to hear of money and immediately be after it... its only human. - Janelle Meadows
13. page 84-85. "By God, we'll make it yet," Foyle mumbled. "I don't know if there's a way out, Gully." Jisbella was shaking with cold. "Maybe this is all cul-de-sac, walled off from the hospital." "There has to be a way out." "I don't know if we can find it." "We've got to find it. Let's go, girl." I think its interesting and funny how when they first met Jisbella was the incouraging one and wanted to find the way out and now shes second guessing herself and Foyle is stepping up and taking a risk. -Kaitlyn Black
13. I don't get why Jisbella had to let him suffer and not get him the anesthesia. This is where I wonder if she likes him or not. I don't really understand her. -Nick Shrift
I do agree with Nick. There are times where it's obvious she likes him and there are other times when you think she hates his guts. For example, like Nick said with the anesthesia you think she hates him but whenever he tells Sam to not leave Gully behind you think she really loves and cares for him. I can't quite understand her either. Sam Ellis
Re:it is very confusing, because she decides to sleep with him, but then tells him to shut up, and leave her alone. pretty dumb. -*Aaron Gromiller*
14. While reading this section, Jisbella McQueen is really confusing me. When she's introduced in the story, she is described as a very intelligent person but when she doesn't pay for the anesthesia I think it's very idiotic on her part. There are other times when she cares or likes him and there are times when she is mean and criticizes him. She's is an odd person. Sam Ellis
15. Page 104. "Dagenham nodded and the smile left his lips. That's whats worrying me. You realize, Presteign, that if Baker removed the tattooing we'll never recognise Foyle?" With thus being said, I disagree with him. If the tattoo was removed from Gully's face, I still believe that you would be able to recognise him. Nothing would change except for the coloring on his face. Also, it is also said that his tattoo looks like that of a tiger. This reminds me of a man from Ripley's Believe it or Not, and the man who had his body changed to that of a tiger. It makes one think, "what does Gully really look like?" -The man, the myth, the legend...Cullen Schimminger
Agreeing with lots of people's opinions, I'm really having a misunderstanding of Jisbella's character. If she cares for Gully, why didn't she let him receive anesthesia? If she really likes him, why would someone want to put a friend that they care for be placed in a position to receive such pain? Is she teaching him a lesson for something that I am misunderstanding? It sounds to me that she would be a terrible friend. -The man, the myth, the legend...Cullen Schimminger
Yeah Jisbella really needs to clarify some things up. She seems to care for Gully but when he really needs her she doesn't let him receive something that will keep him out of pain. - The great Tyler Slippy
16. Pg. 102 Okay. Basically. Gully comes out of a loopy stage to pretty much save Jisbella from this rave that's going on. She's being stubborn when it comes to jaunting. And he's having a hard time at jaunting in his condition also. When they finally end up getting to safety, Jisbella is treating him terribly. I mean, yes he took her friend's keys from his dead body, but it's for a good cause. I think she's just having some trust issues when it comes to Gully. - Kaylee Goldsworthy =]
17. Pg. 104 I'm wondering if Sheffield is only trying to use Gully to find PyrE. It seems so to me. - The great Tyler Slippy
18. Pg. 92-99 Tells about how Jiz got her friend Harley Baker M.D. to remove Gully's tattoos. The procedure would cost $5000, but Jiz said that Gully didn't need the anesthesia that cost $1000. At first when Dr. Baker starts to remove the tattoos, Gully is in pain. After a while, Gully is in excrutiating pain and Jiz decies to give the extra $1000 for the anesthesia. When everything is finished, Dr. Baker comes out and he is finished. "After I put him under I was able to work faster. They're bandaging his face now. He'll be out in a few minutes."
-Sasha Cochran
19. Pg. 94. "'I know. Let him suffer.' she laughed so furiously that she starled Baker. 'Let his face make him suffer too.'" i think that when Jisbella says this its very interesting. it seems as though she is seperating his face, the tiger tattoo scarred face, from the human Gully. She wants him to suffer and she wants the pain to make him suffer but yet she also wants his face to make him suffer. ~nicole dengler
20. Pg. 103. "'Ghoul!' she began to laugh. 'liar...lecher...Tiger...Ghoul. The walking cancer...Gully Foyle.'" i find it interesting that Jisbella calls Gully a tiger as one of her insult names. It seems as though calling him a Tiger is perhaps one of the worst blows he could recieve considering the fact that his tattooed face is one of his greatest insecurities and its also interesting because Foyle is once again in the book being referred to as an animal. ~nicole dengler
21. Pg 104 "That's what worries me. you realize, Prestign, that if Baker removed the tattooing we'll never recognize Foyle." I think that it is a good idea for Gully Foyle to get his tattoos of so that he will have less and less chances of anyone spotting him and being captured again. -victor lemus
RE: I agree with Victor. If he gets the tattoos removed, people looking for him won't recognize him because the tattoo covers his entire face. If he gets it removed, it will only show is real face and most people have never seen that. - Sasha Cochran
